Noone told me turbos make heat.

So I want the heat to get out while keeping fresh air moving through the trunk for the air filter.

Tape some yarn on that to see how it works. With the whale-tale, it may push air down.

Also note how it affects high speed stability.

I epoxied in some mesh grill material

Sort of what it looks like. Turned out ok.

Looks pretty good.

Does anything noticeably weird happen at speed?

I havent had it up over 100 yet. It feels the same though from what I can tell

Are you doing anything to encourage airflow through the vents other than convection?

[Shaun41178(2)]

I have no fans pushing or pulling air. I figure hot air rises. So at a light I am relying on basic physics to get the heat out.

While moving I figure fresh air is circulating in constantly in the truck now, since it's vented on the decklid now. Before much of the heat was getting trapped in when moving and when not moving
